According to the more tenured residents in this area, this is more typical of the weather they remember from 20+ years ago. Apparently there was this drought on here for a while, and now it seems it may be ending.

6 more tornadoes sighted northeast of town yesterday. I guess this is a harbinger for my summer, once again. Fortunately the old timers tell me that where I am living (south central from Denver) experiences much less adverse weather than surrounding areas. I can live with that, although getting there from downtown still poses some issues. We're not sure yet if the folks that drive the trains are smart enough to know to stop the train before it intersects the bad juju.
